Are there tools to create a packaged version of the Linux Unreal Editor?

Development Platform & Builds

Hello,

The project I am working on has a fork of the Unreal Editor 5.1 pre-release engine. We are a Linux shop and each developer is currently compiling the engine from source themselves.

I am hoping to try and created a packaged linux version of our editor, similar to those provided by Epic here: Linux - Unreal Engine

I was just wondering if the tooling used by Epic to create those packages was available anywhere or am I going to have to roll my own packaging scripts?

Many thanks.

I’m not aware of Epic providing that directly. But i’ve seen on discord someone once mentioning building docker images of the engine for the devs using ue4-docker
someone made a port to ue5, but i just randomly found it on duckduckgo, so not sure of it’s status GitHub - EvoVerses/ue5-docker: Windows and Linux containers for Unreal Engine 5

Thank you for the response @nande.

I have since found the following documentation which outlines exactly what I am trying to do. Posting it here should anyone else find it useful:
